The style uses highly detailed, visibly textured paint to render extreme close-up portraits with expressive faces and tactile materials. Muted flesh, beige, white, and charcoal tones are pushed by strong light-dark contrasts, while surreal coverings and reflective surfaces create a dark, unsettling atmosphere.
